✨️Join a magical day of culture, creativity, and community as Swindon town centre comes alive with FREE family-friendly, imaginative experiences.
❄️Follow a whimsical winter trail to discover giant, interactive imaginary creatures, a magical lantern forest and lots of inspiring free activities along the way!
🐉Prepare to be mesmerised as The Whilers, by innovative creative tech studio Air Giants, interact with the crowd and each other to create an unforgettable, almost dreamlike encounter. Standing an incredible 3m tall, these larger-than-life, otherworldly glowing creatures are unlike anything you've seen before — part sloth, part spirit, part dragon.
🌟Explore an ethereal lantern forest art installation created by local artists with the help of community groups, school children and visitors. Help this magical forest grow throughout the day by creating your own lanterns to add to the display.
🗺 Follow the panto-inspired Muddles’ Gingerbread Man Trail to find decorated characters hidden in local business windows as part of a fun discovery challenge organised by Artsite.
🎨Join in with a range of free creative workshops and activities organised throughout the day at The Brunel Swindon and Swindon Hub.
Supported by Arts Council England’s National Lottery Place Partnership Fund, Winter Fest is a partnership between Swindon Culture Collective, Swindon Borough Council, Wyvern Theatre, Artsite, Gel Studios, along with artists drawn from across the town.
